Dolphin Candlestick c. 1936

"Dolphin Candlestick" is a watercolor on paper artwork by John Tarantino created around 1936. This design features a purple, stylized dolphin, which acts as the base for a candlestick. The dolphin is crafted with intricate details, including scales and fins, creating a sense of realism. The candlestick itself is a simple, hexagonal form, topped with a cup for holding a candle. This piece is a testament to Tarantino's talent for blending realism and stylized design.
